Damn right!! Changes need to happen, let's see what the young guys can do. LeRebius is on his 3rd year and done a decent job subbing, Long is young and fiery, let's see what he's got. I'm tired of the same old excuses and lets see what we got out of our 2 3rd rounders.

Oh God im officially ill now because of this franchise. We are pinning our hopes on lerib. Oh how the (not so) mighty (in the first place) have fallen.

We're a 3-13 team who had no 1st rounder, lost 36 mil in cap over two years, and we're without our starting QB. This is what that looks like--no great surprise here. We are rebuilding NOW. If we get a game or two improvement at the end of the year, that's progress.

The big issue here is QB play. The TOs are just killers. They suck the life out of a team. It's pretty hard to get psyched up to smash into some 300+ sized guy when you feel your QB is just gonna chuck it back to the other team. There's a reason people use the cliche that 90% of the game is mental. All we've learned is that Kirk aint the guy. Can RGIII be the guy? I sure hope so. But all this talk about tear the house down and fire the staff is just wrong, IMHO. THE question for this team is about RGIII. The rest is just finding folks with the right skills over the next few years. We've got some decent WRs/TEs, a LT, a few LBs/DLs, a CB or two. But if we have a good QB who can win games and not throw them away, you'll be surprise at how everyone else plays better and makes plays and does their jobs.

My guess is we'll win a few games here, even with Kirk. Tenn, TB, Minn--all winnable, obviously. We'll get a division game W too, maybe. But that's it. That's a 4-5 win season and I'm ok with it if the trend is upward and RGIII shows something. If not, we still need a QB. But leave the FO and coaches for a bit.

I keep waffling from blow it up to continuity, and back and forth.

This ^^^^, is exactly what we need.

OFFENSE:

Gruden came in saying he was going to coach to the personnel we had. While admirable, the talent we have is markedly different from the playoff proven offensive strategy in Cincy.

We have to choose what we want to be and then become that team. Huge dominating o line and TEs worked before for Gruden. And giant receivers who can run block.

Changing a teams identity takes years. The cowgirls had a multi year plan, stuck to it and just ran ground the number 1 defense into the dirt.

DEFENSE:

I really want continuity on defense. Really. I'm struggling with our secondary not making adjustments in the NY game. Morris or Haz or somebody.

Cooley was talking today about leaving cushion and checking off the line up to the individual based on comfort level of our CBs. He suggested our guys are way too inexperienced to be making those calls. Good coaches do more with less. Raheem has underwhelmed.

Not sure how much of our problem is talent and how much is scheme but in-game adjustments are definitely on the coaching staff.

Here's a breakdown of how a Haslett D ranks over the years.

Defensive rankings based on yards are worthless IMO. I think right now we're middle of the pack in terms of defensive rankings based on yards, but are dead last in points (which is more important). So while we're not giving up a ton of yards, we're giving up points.

We're also dead last in giveaways/takeways (-9), with a whopping 13 giveaways and only 4 takeways.

Players need to start making plays both big and small. I'm sick and tired of seeing wideouts dropping key passes (Roberts), defensive players dropping INTs (Orakpo in the AZ game, Breeland in the Philly game, etc., etc.), and Cousins throwing mind boggling INTs.

Aside from the Giants game, the Redskins are not getting blown out of the water (as they should be given our roster). Coaches and players just need to get their heads out of their asses and get their act together.

For two years i have been talking about this guys track record. How he stays employed is mind boggling.

On critical downs please put Santana Moss in the game, especially on third downs.

How is that going to help piss poor play calling on third downs? How is that going to help Cousins throw to the rite team? How is that going to help our oline do its job? Our wr's are not the issue....at all. Moss dropped plenty of balls.

Moss is the security blanket.

I really don't know why, but this season has been one of the hardest to take in recent memory... I have accepted the fact that losing is now the status quo, and there isn't anything we can do about it... Dan is not a good owner, Bruce is not a good GM, Gruden is a rookie HC, the Coordinators are average at best, the talent on the team is average on a good day and the depth is as deep as the kiddie pool...

I guess the real question is why I expected anything to be different this year, or have expected anything to ever be different...
